The servo library supports up to 12 motors on most arduino boards and 48 on the arduino mega.
Arduino servo motor voltage.
The potentiometer gives the analog input to the arduino that is stored in a variable to which it is mapped.
Using this mapping we can control the servo meter by adjusting the voltage of the potentiometer.
This article is about interfacing a servo motor with arduino mega series board.
Servo red wire 5v pin arduino.
Servo yellow wire pwm 9 pin arduino.
Say at 4 8 5v it can give up to 14 15 kg cm.
The servo motor used here has 17 kg cm torque this is its max.
Connect the pwm signal pin of the servo motor with the 9the pin of arduino.
However this torque varies with supply voltage.
The best thing about a servo motor is that it can be connected directly to an arduino.

Servo motor with arduino example code.
Following are the steps to connect a servo motor to the arduino.
With the example code below you can control the exact position of the servo motor and it also includes code to sweep the servo arm back and forth automatically.
The darkest or even black one is usually the ground.
A motor a feedback circuit and most important a motor driver.
A voltage divider potential divider are resistors in a series circuit that scale the output voltage to a particular ratio of the input voltage applied.
Connect to the motor to the arduino as shown in the table below.
Give 5v voltage supply to the servo motor via the voltage pin.
The servo motor has a female connector with three pins.
Arduino servo motor a servo motor is a small device that has an output shaft.
Do not try to rotate the servo motor by hand as you may damage.
Like this you can add as many servo motors as you want.
If you will use high voltage battery and you want give power to arduino with same power source you need to put a 7805 voltage regulator in and make a parallel circuit for that too.
To control the servo motor we will be using the servo h library which comes pre installed with the arduino ide.
The detail instruction code wiring diagram video tutorial line by line code explanation are provided to help you quickly get started with arduino.
Servo brown wire ground pin arduino.
This shaft can be positioned to specific angular positions by sending the servo a coded signal.
It just needs one power line one ground and one control pin.
A servo motor has everything built in.
